When my dog is afraid, she tries to back out of her collar or harness. Can she back out of the thunder leash?

I dont think she could because even if the harness part of the leash came undone cause of her backwards motion you still have to clip the leash to her regular collar so she couldn't get away from you.

No, the leash wraps around the shoulder area as well as the neck so they won't be able to back out of it

If you have the proper size of Thunderleash it would be a bit hard since there is a strap that runs under the dog behind the front legs in addition to the collar you will have on your pup, but I don't think it would be impossible since the strap is not extremely tight.

Small amount of upward pressure with the leash will hold your dog snug. The leash will be wrapped around the mid section.

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

Brenda, I have to think you have a harness that is too large for your dog. I can't imagine how it could back out if the size is correct.

I don't want mine to, so the conection to her harness is short. You could adjust it so they could I guess.

I bought the Thundershirt to help with car-sickness and calm her when people came over. It calmed her down enough that she would not vomit in the car but she still paced back and forth in the back of my Suburban. When she wore it in the house she was calmer and seemed almost afraid of us. It's strange how it changes their behavior. When it came to aggression, she wasn't generally aggressive but she and the neighbors dog would run along the fence constantly and the shirt did not change that. Don't know if that helps. If you don't want to spend the money, maybe try to find a used one to try out. Also...make sure you get the correct size.

Yes! There's a built in leash-type thing with a clip inside that you can hook to a collar or harness. I think it's one of its best features.

You could help a little but not too much. The straps are designed to pull back on a dog that's lunging forward. If you pull forward/upward, the front strap becomes useless and the bottom strap will dig into the dog's armpits. If it is just a little weight/pressure it will be ok. But too much force and that bottom strap will be very uncomfortable for the dog, plus the whole harness could slip off.

I love these harnesses, but one of my dogs did the same thing. This has only happened once. Do you have the soft part of the harness in the back? You should be able to tighten both sides enough so he can't pull out. I usually hold the leash up a bit so he can't pull backwards. I do love the quick release.

In one word NO... If you're not around and you chain him or her up she can back outjjust as easily as a regular harness. And it doesn't work any better than a regular harness to get them to stop pulling either. Its about the training. Harnesses just give them more leverage to pull on u. This Wont let them be as comfortable as a regular harness when they pull so they Cant take you with them but it still promotes them pulling initially.

Yes, there is a safety strap which clips to the dog's harness, so that if I was ever in an accident, the dog wouldn't go through the windshield or out the window. Incidentally, I would never, ever use a collar on a dog, but rather a harness, so that the dog is never in danger of being choked. I am very happy with my Outward Hound!

Attaching it to the collar would be awful. Think about what would happen in an accident. Your dog would get thrown forward and then stopped abruptly by the neck... Get a harness or let your dog loose.

there is a strap to fasten to your dog's harness or collar. you may strap in your pet or leave it free to jump in or out.

There is no slot in the Thundershirt to attach a leash to a harness, but you can attach a leash to a regular collar.

I'm not sure but I think that is why they suggest you have a harness on dog and not just a collar. The strap is pretty short so I don't think the dog could be thrown out of seat.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

I would definitely give it a shot! As long as the straps got around her I think you're fine. Even if the backpack doesn't go all the way down her back. This backpack is perfect and has been a lifesaver for us! My dog protested it at first but now it's just habit. Good luck!

I know this is an old question but I have a 70# Bouvier pup that used to pull on the leash and his prong collar is working like a champ. You might just want to enlist a trainer to help get you started with it.
